a writeup about Shelley from Teen magazine, 1979
Shelley became one of Charlie's heavenly Angels in 1979. After a long exhaustive search (including a premature announcement that Bond Girl Barbara Bach got the part) Aaron Spelling announced that Shelley was the new Angel. "Believe it or not, the headline, 'Charlie Girl becomes the new Charlie's Angel,' carried a lot of weight." said Ed Lakso, a writer/producer on the show.
